Hi All,
I finally am buying my first new Porsche! I just sold my 02 M3.
Sad to see it go, but I am ecstatic about the S.
The car is optioned as follows:
Altas Grey
Black interior
Adaptive sport seats
Nav
Bose
Heated Seats
Dimming mirrors
Changer
Rear Wiper
Sports Chrono.
I'll post pictures in about a week when I take delivery.

I have had two M3's both great cars but after my first Porsche I have never driven anything else. I am now on my 4th P-car a 997 S. You will love it! Congratulations.

Nice Car . . .

Great taste in exterior colour. .

I'd love to see some pics of the car in the sunlight.

Excellent! Congrats on your TRUE ultimate driving machine

I also went from a 3 series to a 997. I'm a step below you, however, having gone from a non-M to a non-S. Believe me, you made the right move. The Porsche is way better than the BMW. The smiles per mile are definitely worth the extra $. Atlas is an outstanding color. I get a lot of compliments on it. If only I could coordinate a thorough washing with a sunny day, I'd post some pics. Maybe in April.

tgcrun, you drive a E500 wagon and your wife drives the 911?

My better half drives the 997, too. Well, in theory...half the time she drives the beater Benz, and I choose between the 997 and E46 M3. Not as easy a decision as you guys are making it out to be...the M3 is a great car.

Congrats!

I wish I can say the same, cant wait for that day to come when I can head the title "My First Porsche" hehe... Oh well, I better get back to work, im not sweating hard enough to earn my future "S"

Be sure to post up some pics, please include more interior shots... Thanks in advance!

Have fun with your new car...

Awesome! I have had 3 BMW's and one previous P-car 996, this 997 is truly a pleasure to drive and just look at!

Thanks everyone for all the compliments!
I will post some pictures in about 1 1/2 weeks. The roads are crappy here in Boston and it's snowing again.

Riotgear, it's been like that for most of the 24 years we've been married. I'm a real estate agent, and I generally need a sedan/wagon for everyday use, so Esther gets to drive the sports/sporty car to work. The only exception was when we had all three kids in car seats. She drove a minivan and I drove the Volvo 740 turbo wagon. I occaisonally snag the C2 from her if I don't have clients and have to run errands. I usually have to start convincing her about 2 days before I want to use it. It's easier negotiating real estate deals.

I am in real estate as well/...I always had to have a 4 door since I was 18 and I finally got to a point a few years ago where I could have my sports car. Now I have 35 people working for me and can drive what I want!!!
